The ONLY thing the Kenwood has over the OEM (in my eyes) is the navigation. That one difference is enough to almost sway me but then I see the ridiculous price tags on the double din navigation units and it justifies me pulling the garmin out of the glovebox when I need it.

My Pioneer double din is a couple years old, bought in used of CL for $300. Spent $25 on ebay for the newest firmware+updated maps. Now I have a unit that has excellent navigation, bluetooth for calling (necessity in NY, driver phone use is primary offense) and good iPod integration.

I did an install write-up that is applicable to all double-din units, regardless of manufacturer. It is very easy and quick to do, in fact, I spent way more time typing up the "how-to" for Chuck than it took to install the unit. Click me for how to install a double din

Ridiculous price tag?

IIRC, the upgraded audio system from Volvo is an extra $2000?

But I didnt pay it.

I'm with Steve, and I can't wait to dump this 11 speaker Pro-Logic, yada-yada, 15 yo technology

But Steve did call you guys out LOL!

When you get it out, box it up and send that "crap" to me and I will dispose of it for you free of charge. Dont forget the 400 watt amp. Send it all to me and I will take the Kenwood dd out of my S70 and put it all in there.

Whoa whoa whoa - Gary doesn't need that crap clogging up his garage. I'll actually pay shipping if you want to box it and send it my way. ;)

pat, lets take your dodge ram....this radio would make a good upgrade to your oem, even if you have the upgraded alpine system...this will really make it sing!

My VR is so much more enjoyable now with this new headunit. so much more control over the speakers and amps.

LOL, Alpine system.

You keep saying people hate it, but I think a lot of them (including myself) just aren't interested in all that extra stuff.

I'm glad you are really happy with your audio system. It's clearly cutting edge and cool. But why are you mad at me for not liking it?

I think you are getting a bad reaction because you keep telling them what they have sucks.
